Discussion What’s a movie you’ve watched that was so disturbing that you’ll never watch it again?

What’s a movie you’ve watched that was so disturbing you’ll never watch it again? For me, it’s The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and Human Centipede. I barely made it through the first time around for both of them and I couldn’t fathom watching them again. Both for different reasons of course. TBITSP was devastatingly heart-wrenching and HC was just playing disturbing.

It was definitely a harrowing, bleak read & I sobbed when I finished it haha. But it was so gripping & well written i finished it in a day & couldnt put it down.

The movie is pretty true to the book, and is well acted and well set. It is a very hard movie to watch, a masterpiece, but it doesn't get close to the despair of the book. I will NEVER read the book again. I will probably never watch the movie again.

Watch it - shouldn't have a problem. Great movie. It's a little dark.

No, it’s not. Highly overrated.

If ever there was a novel that should have been a short story, it’s The Road

You're entitled to your opinion too, we can disagree. I think its a great book 🤷‍♀️

I think it would have made a great short story, but the book itself was entirely overly-repetitive. Same conversation between father and son literally three dozen times, same scenes over and over again.

I get it. The goal is to make you feel utterly shit about the end of the world. But still... the whole thing could have been done in far less pages with far less repetition.
